Abstract
The reaction of the potassium salt of (2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-[6-(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)-pyridine-2-yl]-amine (Ap*H) with the equimolar ratio of [ScCl3] in tetrahydrofuran (thf) resulted in the mononuclear mono(aminopyridinato) scandium dichloride complex [Ap*ScCl2(thf)2]. An X-ray analysis showed the title compound to be monomeric. The compound [C40H59Cl2N2O2Sc] crystallized in the monoclinic space group, P21/n, and possessed the following cell parameters: a = 12.4441(8) b = 22.9975(10) c = 13.9971(8) Å, β = 92.297(5)°, V = 4002.5(4) A3, and Z = 4. Hirshfeld analyses show that H…H (91.1%), H…C/C…H (5.0%), and H…Cl/Cl…H (3.9%) are the contributing interactions in the solid-state structure. The compound was further characterized by NMR spectroscopy, and its purity was confirmed by elemental analysis.
